Labels And Hornbooks...

Hand stitched label for the back of a Hornbook - ThreeSheepStudio.com

Often when working on finishing projects,
I place a lot of time into how I want something 
to look when complete, but don't get around 
to making the labels.  
I'm starting to accumulate a list of 
projects that need labels...
punch needle, rug hooking, wool applique

First on the list -
Labels for the back of two hornbooks.




"A Mother's Watch" 1800 Fraktur Punch Needle Design - ThreeSheepStudio.com

Hornbook from Tara at Perfect Prim Punch

Last year, I released a punch needle design,
but wasn't quite sure how I wanted to 'finish'
it.  I decided I liked the hornbook idea, 
so I ordered another hornbook from the very 
talented Tara at Perfect Prim Punch.




'1787 Fraktur' Punch Needle Design - ThreeSheepStudio.com

"1787 Fraktur" punch needle design.

I painted the hornbook, (my 13 y.o. son picked out 
the color to match a shade in the wing), 
and then I stitched up a label for the back.

Two projects crossed off the list !


Next up....
Garden Mulch

~ MULCH~
I don't even know where to begin !
I'm beginning to think
I need to downsize my gardens...
nah, that's not going to happen !
Good thing my husband loves to spread mulch. ;)

Be safe and enjoy the holiday weekend...
